The fact that you can still see his old human face petrified and hollowed out to make space for his robotic face is terrifying. Like a butterfly that couldn't fully leave its cocoon.
during his final transformation scene, there's a brief moment where it shows viktor's human face being literally _peeled_ apart while the new one grew in! so gross, and so so cool!!
His new design reminds me of a Biblically accurate angel in its uncanny yet divine nature, though unlike an angel when I look at it I don't feel weirdly comforted but instead incredibly uneasy. Perfect design, honestly. The artists were seriously cooking.

@@blacktigerpaw1 Technically, no. He won and years upon years passed. And Viktor was put in solitude because of his victory, so he created a time loop countless times and created countless timelines. Each of them ended in failure, so the one we got to see, he agreed with Jayce to end everything because winning was lonely.
@@itskeeler21 So that specific Viktor had human emotion and wasn't mechanized yet mechanized everyone else with the Arcane, and created a loop so that Jayce could still create the GE because of...boredom? Thanks, you just made it sound worse.
@diegojimenez5937 the rework would suck because people don't know what's good item with with which would plummet his win rate which would turn into a minor buff, The cycle would continue until players learn to play him right and reveals that the rework Viktor is OP all along.
what's even more amazing is the SFX when he cuts the door is the exact same sound effect from one of Viktor's Abilities in League, For the league players It's Viktor's enpowered auto attack from his Q
The glass shattering beneath his feet and revealing multiple reflections reveal that Viktor is not just one but he is ALL of his subjects as one. Peak cinematography there
His old lore was straight to the point and better dont be delusional they could have expanded the old one rather than making him magical jesus. He is supposed to be a Cyborg I cant even explain wtf he is now.
"Did I disappoint you? Will they still let me over If I cross the line? Take a seat But I'd rather you not be here for What could be my final form Stay your pretty eyes on course Keep the memories of who I was before So stay with me because My body's on the line now"
I think it makes sense we didnt get a fight fight. Because victor was literally unstopable...they barely win because of ekko His droids were almost impossible to take down. It took the combine force of jayce and mel to kill one... And that is just the robots. Imagine what victor can actually do. I think by this point he is to op to beat in a fight. I wouldnt say he is on world ender terms like viego or morderkaiser but definitevely very op lore wise

Yep😂 the fandom is divided. I suppose I love both designs. But league viktor was much kinder, I guess, than this one who deals with absolutes. At least lol viktor asks for consent before he gloriously evolves anyone.
The people who like it don't even play viktor. It's harsh when you main a champ and they change him so much. I'm saying that as someone who liked it, but i don't play viktor
i dont even play League of Legends, but if there was a moment to make a super expensive skin, it would be for the "final form" of victor from arcane... That looks amazing.,
From a generic robotic villain straight from a Saturday morning cartoon (who was granted some shoehorned lore based on his catchphrase to make him morally complex) to what is basically a machine god genuinely seeking to "evolve" humanity by "perfecting" it through removing all sense of self and forcing everyone to become part of his now-infinite mind. An actual Glorious Evolution, taken to its most extreme and apocalyptic extent. New Viktor goes super hard. If this is his VGU I'll main him, and if this is a legendary skin I'll main him once I have a spare $20.
Also he now is much much more powerfull than he was in the old lore, this Viktor is almost cosmic level, you can see that if his body got destroyed his mind still survive in that cosmic like place and he can still use his powers from there as he do to transform his followers into robots, what means he can easily rebuild himself a new body
I like the 3 face in one head of viktor being a reference to the trinity or the 3 faced jesus (actually based on his early concepts from the arcane artbook)
The design update is fire....The robot face coming out of the human face and the halo of runes being like a computer like algorithm that can affect reality...man....they really outdid themselves...even the third arm seem appropriate because of course, an alien entity like THAT has a third arm!!! Peak Character Design
Not enough people are pointing this out, but even here - when Viktor has made a clear/concentrated move to annihilate his emotions - he still can't suppress the sentimentality he has for Jayce. His feelings for Jayce are too strong to remove.
Madara ahh character. He's the same, same goals, driven mad by his own power, finds out what he thought was the perfect goal is actually a nightmare. Madara is a goated Villain, and Victor for me is on his pedestal cause they're insanely similar
Viktor the GOAT and the best character in Arcane! that's all i can say! people all cheer for jinx or jayce or ekko or whatever but Viktor is literally the best!

I caught that little "ping" sound from his Q empowered auto too. Hope it stays in his VGU lol.
From seeing that he will still have a 3rd arm in the rework I'm just hopeful they will keep the e mostly intact.
